What is the Cloud Cost Optimization for Healthcare Data course about?

Healthcare technology leaders are stuck between rising cloud bills and strict compliance demands. Default storage settings lead to massive overprovisioning, especially with DICOM and PACS workloads. Manual tiering is error-prone, and teams lack clear rules for lifecycle management. The result: wasted budget, failed internal audits, and technical debt that grows with every migration. You need a repeatable, auditable framework , not just.
